Denmark the world leader in Green Technology |
|
On Rachel last night was an interesting interview with a three time Pulitzer Prize winning journalist that had some very interesting things to say about the LIE that going Green would cost jobs and hurt the economy. He used Denmark as an example. In 1972 when the first Oil Embargo by OPEC happened, Denmark took it seriously and invested full bore into Green technology. At that time they were 100% dependent upon foreign oil, now almost forty years later they are 0% dependent upon oil and are the world's leading provider of Green Technology and their economy thrived on the change and is still doing so..Imagine if America was Smart enough to actually learn something from them...

They found enough oil in their own country to supply all their needs.
